Question
Dear Baby, currently 8 years old, at first, she said her throat was sore, noticed that her coughing was quite severe, and it seems like she has had a low-grade fever all the time. How should red swelling in children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose according to symptoms. In addition, regional treatments can also be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intravenous drug injection, and laser therapy. For children with obvious throat pain symptoms, painkillers can be used. If the child still has a fever, a reasonable amount of antipyretic medication can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. For those with recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm in daily life to avoid catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
